The Orkney Brewery is based in the former schoolhouse for Quoyloo, one mile from Skara Brae, in the heart of Neolithic Orkney. The unrushed culture with its traditional values influences the way we make our beer. We give undivided attention to each stage of the brewing process to ensure that our beer reaches you in perfect condition. This timeless approach has helped us win many national and international awards for both our cask and bottled beers which we hope you will enjoy.

Norman was delighted to welcome Hamish & Cam Elder from Harvey's Brewery to Orkney Brewery earlier this week. Hamish - 7th generation at the family run Brewery in Lewes, founded in 1790, is looking forward to having Cam join the brew team later this year. We look forward to sampling his work!
Norman's son Arran studied brewing at Herriot Watt as did Cam.

Brewing now to unleash Thor’s Hammer, our Double Hopped IPA, in bottle. This one’s a bold, golden powerhouse packed with Chinook, Centennial and Columbus hops, delivering lightning‑bolt flavours of lemon and tropical fruit. A double hit of dry hopping brings a cracking finish of grapefruit and pine. In Norse mythology, Thor’s hammer wasn’t just a weapon – it was a symbol of strength, protection and blessing. Viking settlers in Orkney even wore miniature hammer pendants for good fortune.

We’ve only got a limited run of casks for taps, so if you want Thor’s Hammer to strike at your favourite local, nominate them below and we’ll do everything we can, to get this mighty beer on their bar.

Also, if you like and share this post, we will automatically enter you in a prize draw, for a free case of bottles sent to your door. (UK and over 18s only and sorry Magnus 😀 staff excluded).
